Earl Greyís Tea Appreciates the Space
Trip

The sixth Earl Grey, a member of the British House of Lords and heir to the
original Earl Grey, former British prime minister, has taken notice of our
beloved starship captainís penchant for the beverage named after his ancestor.
As a reward for Picardís faithful advertisement for the beverage, the earl
sent Patrick Stewart, who plays Picard, a special commemorative tea service.

The 22-karat-gold-embellished tea service, one of only 500 made and with an
estimated value of $495, was designed by the Countess Grey, and presented to
Stewart as he entered Manhattanís Richard Rodgers Theater where he was
performing his one-man rendition of "A Christmas Carol." Along with
the tea service was a note from the Earl Grey that said

I have been interested to observe the character you have so successfully
portrayed in Star Trek: The Next Generation has a penchant for the
beverage that bears my family name. As you have now become one of the most
famous Earl Grey tea-drinkers in the world, I would like to take this
opportunity to present to you a "Heritage" Limited Edition Earl Grey
tea set to commemorate its introduction into the U.S.
